How to use:
- In the Plugins section of the sidebar, scroll down to Simple Custom CSS.
- If it’s not active, choose Activate.
- Once it’s active, scroll back to that section of the plugin list (if needed) and choose Add CSS.
- In the text field that appears, add your CSS and click the Update Custom CSS button.
- Apply the custom CSS you have created in the places you need it.(Note: If you’re not certain how to write custom CSS, check out online tutorials like W3Schools. This demo page explains the use of the plugin, not the writing of CSS.)
Example:
Using the following custom CSS example:
.box-and-shadow { padding: 1em; border: 1px solid #C8C6C7; box-shadow: 0px 4px 4px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25); -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 4px 4px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25); -moz-box-shadow: 0px 4px 4px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25); }
You can apply it to objects like paragraphs, headlines, or containers:
